Pisces Traits

The Pisces horoscope sign, the Fish, is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac in the horoscope. It belongs to the element water and the mutable quality. The Pisces Zodiac sign is the seeker, searching for the meaning of life and path to happiness and fulfillment for all. It's a tedious quest, but Pisces is prepared for the sacrifice it demands.

     The willingness of personal sacrifice is one of the major Pisces horoscope characteristics. Therefore, Pisces tends to be taken advantage of, more than once. It's a follower, as is every mutable sign in the horoscope, and it's very sensitive. But those are not weaknesses. The Pisces Zodiac sign is indifferent to privileges and benefits, because there are other things so much more important. It's a choice, alhtough others often don't see that.

     The archetype of the Pisces Zodiac sign in the horoscope is the martyr, who is prepared to die, even when that's an injustice, for a higher cause. The most prominent of martyrs has for almost two thousand years been Jesus, who was crucified by an oppressive society wanting to stop his preaching.

Pisces archetype: The Crucifixion, by Alonso Cano, c. 1640.

     Jesus, through the religion of Christianity, is also the one whose influence has been of the most vast importance for the last two thousand years, at least in Europe and the Western world. We're living in the Age of Pisces, an era dominated by the perspective of religion and the Pisces horoscope characteristics, which are praised as the most noble ones. It started around the time of the birth of Jesus, and will continue for something like 150 years, when it is followed by the Age of Aquarius.

     So, Pisces may be the horoscope sign of self-sacrifice, but for the last two thousand years, this has been the highest virtue. Society has been one of the Pisces horoscope virtues (at least as the outspoken ideal), and still is.

     Those with Pisces as their horoscope Zodiac sign are born with the sun in it, between February 19 and March 20. For more about the Pisces Zodiac sign and its meanings in the horoscope, see the links in the menu to the left.

Pisces Horoscope Traits

The Pisces star sign begins when the winter is bitter and cold, but ends at the vernal equinox, the starting point of spring. Pisces is the horoscope sign of the humble seeker, with the traits of one who is always willing to make personal sacrifices for the good of others or society as a whole. To the Pisces Zodiac sign, society is a great body we all share, so any personal contribution to it will benefit everybody in it.

Pisces Compatibility

The Pisces horoscope sign, the seeker, belongs to the element water, which is that of the emotions. So do Cancer and Scorpio, but that doesn't necessarily mean Pisces is particularly compatible with them - they need to share affection and a deeply felt attraction. Nor for that matter is the Pisces Zodiac sign always incompatible with, say, the fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, although they are quite different.

     All the astrological traits of each Zodiac sign have to be considered when examining their compatibility. Read more about what it means to the Pisces horoscope sign here:
